all you ever taught me
was to fear
but no longer I will stay calm
I was told
I could speak my mind whenever I want
so now you'll listen to ME
do you remember
how I used to talk about
shooting everyone who's made my life hell?
you thought I was joking
see? I wasn't
for years, you've humiliated me
and finally I'm taking revenge
HA!
now you see what it's like
to be forced into a corner
with nowhere left to hide
do you understand now
how I felt all those years?
you laughed at my mistakes
now I can finally pay you back
and laugh at YOU
I don't care what you think anymore
because you didn't care how I felt
you've had your chances
but you let them pass
now it's too late
to change your mind
I will take you with me
to where you belong
you'd better start praying
so we don't meet again
in hell

Tough one!
By the way, "you though[t] I was joking"
I don't know what to say on that one...

Very good
Wow! Well put! I think many people feel like that at times, some much more than others. It's a good expression of the emotions of someone from a sadly abusive setting, a setting much too common these days.

Sadly too many people walk around feeling this way becasue others cant find kind words for a stranger or a person of which they consider an easy target, very nice
-
Yes sadly, this is how such things in today's society occur. Too many putdowns to make others feel superior. That ruins the self esteem very badly.
All the best with this.

Sadly true, wish there was ways of changing things.
I do believe there is it's just finding the power in ourselves, not in a gun or knife even fist.
Goodluck
